I'm guessing the real of purpose of Cheney's recent trip was to tell the Iraqi parliament, "Pass it or else!".
My guess is that they will pass something to save their asses. Since passing the law is inevitable, the real question is how the population reacts. Our most likely response will be to increase the military budget in order to implement the Carter doctrine. Will the auto, airline, military funded Democrats cut off funding? I doubt it.
We need another Katrina or 2003 blackout.
The apparent response is say, "Yes, Mr Vice-President, we'll get right onto it." and then do swat.
Passing the law will put their asses at more risk, not less. After all, what's Cheney going to do, if it doesn't pass, withdraw the troops?

I guess that I have to agree with all of you. I am sure that 100% of the proceeds of all the oil produced since the war have been given to Bush & Cheney trusts for their children. There was an obvious need for money for those children, who are now multi-billionaires. Forbes magazine publishes the richest people in the world, but they do not mention the Bush & Cheney children. Obviously, they have been paid off. The UN should investigate this. But, it is obvious to anyone that Bush & Cheney have told everyone that is associated with the UN if anyone talks about this. The New York Times has been bought & paid for by Bush & Cheney. Sure, they print a few negative pages about them every day, but this is just to disguise the fact that they have been bought off by Bush & Cheney, so that they can continue for the next 1000 years to divert all of the oil money to their offspring. It is probably too late to do anything about it. They now have enough money that they can buy off anyone that challenges them. I am 100% sure that Bush & Cheney will declare a coup and establish a dictatorship. What a waste of time with all these people running around trying to get nominated to be the next president. Bush & Cheney have their fingers into every dollar in the world. They probably hold the mortagage on your house and if you oppose them too much, they will find an excuse to confiscate it. LOL
